Top 5 React Component Libraries for 2020

After building and shipping a component library at my company, I gained a new appreciation for all the amazing open-source component libraries available to us in the React ecosystem. It takes a lot of work and a lot of good, intentional decisions to create a cohesive and functional component library. Whether you use one out-of-box, extend one, or roll your own, please use a component library for your project. Your users will thank you. 🙃

I have used, explored, and evaluated dozens of component libraries on the following criteria:

1. Quality & scope of components
2. Accessibility
3. Open-sourced-ness
4. Documentation
5. Extensibility
6. React-ness

These are the BEST component libraries available to React developers in 2020. Probably. We’ll count ’em down for some excitement. 🎉
